Silver2 used to be the spot for TH8 gold/elixir farming. You don't really need all that much DE at TH8.

I just finished AQ26, and i'm finding myself more and more reluctant to play anymore. I'll step in for wars, but even that i don't enjoy as much lately.

There are a lot of people in your position. The game just isn't the same anymore. Wars are shoddy at best.

We had a 30+ win streak going then lost 3 of the last 4. We were 48-2 at one point on our war log.

I think the issue is that you either want success (attacks you know will get 3 but you've done 'em 100 times and are bored) or you want variance (and higher possibility of a loss). Now get 35+ people to agree which way to go.
 
im trying to max out my TH8 and not rush to th9, but I'm getting bored as well. I just want a stupid AQ already. I guess i need to learn to do goho instead of relying on drags. My DE usually just sits which is pointless.
 
Max out all your walls at least. You are going to be farming enough for your walls you don't want to do the TH8 level ones too.

GoHo is the GoTo strategy in TH9 wars. Once you understand Hog pathing it will help you understand loon pathing which will set you up for LaLoon.

Make sure all your DE troops are maxed as well. Even valks even if you don't use them now. Once you get to TH9 you will want ALL de to go into your heroes.

What he said. I went to TH10 when I had level 10 heros and skull walls. Steeler saw me back then when I visited his clan. Since then, I've done nothing but walls, heros and troops. It has been a grind and a half. The upside is that resources come quicker now with all my max troops and I can hold onto more with my infernos, but it has been monotonous. Steeler, you would not recognize my base.

My point is that once you fall behind in walls, it's very tough to catch up. You are your strongest when you are maxxed out for your level and you should slip some walls in with your other builds. leave one builder free to do walls and spread it out so you don't end up like me, just doing walls.

The upside is now I have upgraded every single thing that uses elixir and all my elixir goes to walls too. I've also upgraded some key defenses (wiz towers, one level of archer and teslas) to help with my defense, but I've left everything else as max for a th9. This makes for better war matchups.

This man speaks the truth!

I've been trying some shattered attacks lately with a golaloon in war. Having a big king and queen helps a lot. I've taken out a TH and 2 AD with just a BK/AQ and 1 Gol + jump spell. The rest was taken down with the laloon.
 
I wish we could use elixir for walls at any level. My tanks are full and I can't train troops fast enough to keep them from being maxed
 
So I am about 4 weeks or so into Th10. Finally made the upgrade.

From a troop perspective I have max golems, max wizards, max valks, and Wall breakers cooking.

Spells: maxed jump

3 / 4 camps done, 1 in progress

2 xbows at level 2, wizard tower at th8 level, rest of defenses are at th9

traps are all th10 level (teslas finishing now) and new traps included

new walls at skulls

Heroes still at 25/25. I will work on them soon as Poison and Eq done upgrading.

Giants up next, then farming, then dragon/pekka/rest

New update coming out tomorrow:

• 2x faster brewing for all Spells
• 2x faster training for Dragon, Witch and Wall Breaker
• 3x faster training for Golem, Lava Hound and P.E.K.K.A
• Hugely reduced Hero regeneration times
• Faster training also for Balloon, Wizard, Healer, Valkyrie and Bowler

• Gameplay balance: Bowler starts attacking much faster when reaching a target
The Bowler landed a bit softer than he would have liked. While we continue to watch how strategies evolve with this new troop, a faster first-attack speed (similar to the recent Valkyrie buff) will make sure Bowlers don't lag behind the rest of the army.


• Maximum timeout searching for opponents raised from 5 to 30 minutes
This change mainly affects players at very high Trophy counts who are familiar with waiting in the clouds for targets. Previously, the game would ask you to tap a “Retry” button after a 5-minute matchmaking timeout. Now that tap is only required every 30 minutes to keep on searching.

What's everyone else up to? Still playing?
 
A bit into TH9. All new walls purple. Queen is going to six now. I was close to upgrading Giants to 6, but last night I blew 1M pink upgrading a wall instead of resetting traps.

I stupidly built an xbow so now I'm pretty high in war match ups. I built the new traps and wiz and arch towers. All defenses are still th8 otherwise. Camps and cc are all done.

I like how th9 spell factory is a twofer upgrade. Jump and freeze unlocked with one go.

Also, this upgrade sounds great. I hate waiting forever for army to cook.
 
I recently upgraded to TH10 as well after I literally got to the point where I had nothing left to upgrade except heroes. I also went up to Masters to get my 2,000 gems then went back down. I'm now back down at Gold II BARCHing and living off of abandoned bases for 200k-300k per attack. It's fun not caring about trophies again.

I also left my clan because it started feeling like work. Now it's a game again now that I'm playing solo again.

Edit: my priority right now is to max out my inferno towers and my 3rd xbow while also upgrading my army camps so that I can get more troops. And, I just upgrade heroes as enough DE becomes available.

i was trying to push to get to TH9. but i started playing Clash Royale cuz theres a lot more to do each day. maybe tmrws updates will get me to play again.
 
Sounds like a good update. Might bring me back in it if it doesn't take two hours to prep for a war attack anymore.
 
I just collect now. I haven't actually raided in months. I have enough gems that i just gem all my war troops, gem donations etc. Not being able to raid too much and not having the good old th snipe option really crossed the line for me of time invested/reward.

I could raid for hours straight, not have enough for the huge costs. And end up losing a good portion of it before i'm able to raid again to complete. Basically wasting all the time i invested.

With that being said, i'm still th9 plugging away at lava walls, and soon to start aq28. (about 4 months saving?)

I'll take a look

Currently th8 with all buildings maxed except for teslas (one upgrade away). Haven't been upgrading my walls however, most are the first crystal with a few gold still. Also all the units I use are maxed along with my king.

Should I upgrade to th9 or work on my walls? Decided not to originally because be it hogs or Dragons I was getting wiped regardless of my wall strength. Advice on how to move forward?

I guess it just depends on the style of play that you enjoy. If you just like farming and raiding in multiplayer, go to th9 to get the upgraded troops and spells.

But if you want to get into Wars and learning more about 3-star strategies, it would be best to hang out where you are and work on maxing walls and troops.
 
Has anyone found any good strats for the baby drags or miners?

I know HGHB is good for the bowlers, but haven't really tried it yet. I will unlock bowlers later today.

Got my BK to 30 and AQ going to 26 right now. Doing the 9.5 strategy now. MAX war army so now just gotta work on heroes. Still running th8 wizard towers. lol
 
Not sure about miners. I'll have to check back in with my main clan to see if our max th11's are using miners. As fast as I know with baby drags, mostly just 1 in cc for defense with some ground troops. Our th9's use 2 of them in war to pinch the sides, then use a golem, valk, hog or bowler combo.

All the th11's in the top clans are using mass bowler combos with healers walking them, they're 3 starring each other quite often with it.

Its not worth it for th10's to use bowlers, we can only get lv2, and even then they are just too weak to use unless donating and the level gets upgraded to max.
 
I just saw that ClashCon 2016 will be in Los Angeles this year in November.

Any of you guys going to go?

As long as its a weekend and not Thanksgiving I am going to be going down with my son.
